Color-photographic recording material
A color-photographic recording material which, in at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, an interlayer and/or a protective layer, contains a stabilizer mixture comprising(i) a compound with at least one group of the formula ##STR1## or a polymer with recurring structural units of the formula I, and (ii) a phenolic antioxidant.Color images obtained by imagewise exposure and development of this color-photographic recording material show good stability to the action of visible and ultraviolet light.With respect to the definitions of the substituents in formula I, reference is made to the description.
Latest Ciba-Geigy AG Patents:
The present application relates to a colour-photographic recording material which, in at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer and/or in at least one of the conventional auxiliary layers, contains, for stabilisation, a mixture of a polyalkylpiperidine light stabiliser, specifically substituted on the piperidine nitrogen, and a phenolic antioxidant. As sterically hindered amines, polyalkylpiperidines are generally known as light stabilizers for organic materials, in particular for polymers. In German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,126,954, the use of such polyalkylpiperidines as an agent to counteract the fading of colour photographs was proposed in the past. Furthermore, EP-A No. 11,051 proposed the use of certain polyalkylpiperidine derivatives, which contain at least one phenol group, as light stabilisers for colour photographs. These are polyalkylpiperidine esters of hydroxybenzylmalonic acids.
It has now been found that mixtures of polyalkylpiperidine light stabilisers, specifically substituted on the piperidine nitrogen, and phenolic antioxidants exert a surprisingly improved stabilising action.
The subject of the present invention is therefore a colour-photographic recording material which, in at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, an interlayer and/or a protective layer, contains a stabiliser mixture comprising
(i) a compound which contains at least one group of the formula I ##STR2## or a polymer, the recurring structural units of which contain a group of the formula I or are linked via a bivalent group corresponding to the formula I, in which R.sub.1 is a free valency and in which, moreover, R is hydrogen or methyl and R.sub.1 is methyl, a group --CH.sub.2 --C(R.sub.2).dbd.C(R.sub.3)(R.sub.4), --CH.sub.2 --C.tbd.C--R.sub.5, ##STR3## --CH.sub.2 --COOR.sub.7, --CH.sub.2 --CON(R.sub.8)(R.sub.9), --COR.sub.10, --COOR.sub.7, --CON(R.sub.8)(R.sub.9), --OR.sub.7, --CH.sub.2).sub.b OCOR.sub.10, --CH.sub.2 --CH(R.sub.11)OR.sub.12, --SOR.sub.13 or --SO.sub.2 R.sub.13, a and b are one of the numbers 0, 1 or 2, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 independently of one another are hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 -alkyl, R.sub.5 is hydrogen or methyl, R.sub.6 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, R.sub.7 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 -alkyl, allyl, benzyl or cyclohexyl, R.sub.8 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 -alkyl, allyl, cyclohexyl, benzyl or phenyl, R.sub.9 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 -alkyl or allyl, or R.sub.8 and R.sub.9, together with the N atom to which they are linked, form a 5-membered or 6-membered heterocyclic ring, and R.sub.10 is hydrogen, C.sub.4 -C.sub.12 -alkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkenyl, chloromethyl, C.sub.5 -C.sub.8 -cycloalkyl, C.sub.7 -C.sub.14 -aralkyl or C.sub.7 -C.sub.10 -alkylphenyl, R.sub.11 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.13 -alkoxymethyl, phenyl or phenoxymethyl, R.sub.12 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 -alkyl, --COR.sub.10 or --CON(R.sub.8)(R.sub.9), R.sub.8, R.sub.9 and R.sub.10 being as defined above, and R.sub.13 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 -alkyl, phenyl or C.sub.7 -C.sub.14 -alkaryl, and

The stabiliser mixture according to the invention can be incorporated, by itself or together with other compounds, in a known manner into a photographic material.
The mixing ratio of the polyalkylpiperidine light stabiliser (i) and the phenolic antioxidant (ii) varies, for example, between 90:10 and 10:90, preferably between 70:30 and 30:70.
As a rule, the stabiliser mixture is incorporated, by itself or together with other compounds, in particular with the colour couplers, in the form of a dispersion into the photographic material, this dispersion either containing no solvent or containing high-boiling or low-boiling solvents or a mixture of such solvents. In a further suitable incorporation method, the stabilisers are incorporated, by themselves or together with other compounds, together with a polymer in the form of a latex into the photographic material.
The dispersions are then used for preparing the layers of colour-photographic recording materials. These layers can be, for example, interlayers or protective layers, but in particular light-sensitive (blue-sensitive, green-sensitive and red-sensitive) silver halide emulsion layers in which, on development of the exposed recording material, the cyan, magenta and yellow dyes are formed from the corresponding colour couplers.
The silver halide layers can contain any desired colour couplers, in particular cyan, magenta and yellow couplers, which are used for forming the said dyes and hence the colour formers.
Since the substrate has an influence on the action and stability of the stabiliser mixtures, those substrates (solvents, polymers) are preferred which, together with the stabilisers, result in the best possible stability of the materials which are to be stabilised.
As a rule, the stabiliser mixtures are incorporated into layers which additionally contain a silver halide dispersion which has been prepared and sensitised by conventional methods. However, they can also be present in layers adjacent to the layers containing silver halide.
The photographic materials according to the invention have a conventional structure and contain components which intensify the activity of the stabiliser mixtures or at least do not affect it adversely.
In a colour-photographic recording material according to the present invention, the stabiliser mixtures containing the components (i) and (ii) can, apart from the colour couplers, additionally also be combined with ultraviolet absorbers or other light stabilisers in the same layer.
If the diffusion transfer method is used, the stabiliser mixture can also be incorporated into a receiving layer.
The colour-photograhic materials according to the invention can be processed in the known manner. Moreover, during or after processing, they can be treated in a way which further increases their stability, for example by treating in a stabiliser bath or by applying a protective coating.
The invention also relates to a process for the production of photographic colour images by imagewise exposure and colour development of a colour-photograhic recording material containing a stabiliser mixture with the components (i) and (ii). Further, the invention relates to the photographic colour images obtained by this process.
The stabiliser mixtures, to be used according to the invention, are in some cases also suitable for protecting colour-photographic layers in which the dyes are incorporated directly into the emulsion and the image is produced by selective bleaching.
The quantity of stabiliser mixture can vary within wide limits and is approximately in the range from 1 to 2,000 mg, preferably 100 to 800 and in particular 200 to 500 mg, per m.sup.2 of the layer into which it is being incorporated.
If the photographic material contains one or more ultraviolet absorbers, this or these can be present together with the stabiliser mixture in one layer or even in an adjacent layer. The quantity of ultraviolet absorber can vary within wide limits and is approximately in the range from 200-2,000 mg, preferably 400-1,000 mg, per m.sup.2 of the layer. Examples of suitable ultraviolet absorbers are those of the benzophenone, acrylonitrile, thiazolidone, benzotriazole, oxazole, thiazole and imidazole types.
The colour images obtained by exposure and development, using the recording material according to the invention, show very good light fastness to visible and ultraviolet light. The stabiliser mixtures (i)+(ii) are virtually colourless, so that there is no discolouration of the images; furthermore, they are highly compatible with the conventional photographic additives present in the individual layers. Due to their high activity, the quantity in which they are used can be reduced, and they are thus prevented from precipitating or crystallising out, when they are incorporated as an organic solution into the aqueous binder emulsions which are used for the preparation of photographic layers. The individual processing steps, necessary for the production of colour images after the exposure of the photographic recording material, are not adversely affected by the stabiliser mixtures (i)+(ii). Moreover, the so-called abrasion fog which frequently occurs with blue-sensitive emulsions can be largely suppressed. This can occur, for example, when mechanical stresses, for example twisting, bending or rubbing, are exerted during production or during the treatment before development on photograhic materials (silver halide emulsion layers located on a base of natural or synthetic materials) (T. H. James, The Theory of Photographic Process, 4th edition, Macmillan, New York, N.Y. 1977, pages 23 et seq. and pages 166 et seq.).
